Hydrocarbon-vaporizer.



ited to the exact form hm-oin in Fig. 4, which illustratm 1hc deflector betore being bent into the form of a heliX. .It Will1be understood that the pins- 1-1, pnss thmugh the deflector; that is. the ends of the gins project from opposite sidcs of the plat These projections are lot:atel in stagcnlatmn of water or exhaust gnes aronmL through the spuee 15,.

the mixing chambev formed by the jacket 16. InLet and oflet pipes 17, 18, respectively are shown in commnnicalou n'ith the space 15.

It is well nnderstood that in order to transform a liquid at. a, given tempemture and pressure into a vhpor having the samc temperature and pressure, haut must: be supplied. The extra nnmbr of-heat;nnits mecssa!}' te cause this transformation is callcd, the latent heat of vaporizntion: it varies withdiflerent substances, 966 B. T. U.heing requirefl to change a pound of water at 212 F, intosteam hnvin he same tcmperutum. This explaiis the p1cnomcnon.of the coll [in moist intuke manifold of arunninggnotor e 'en on n hot du whe.n every other part ot the motor is too hot to permit of contact by the hand. .Thus it is seen thn-t the degre of vaporizatioxrm dQwndent upon the extra amount ofheat n'hich can be suppled M and follouin thc *mintof mixing of the gases. Inasmum as-t 1is hcnt, .to be effective, must be nppl'd eqnnllj to the liquid and ina;- much as the trams-fer of haut by convetion is 510W, many linbnlcs of liquid tare nnvapor ized and cn131ed in suspension. These are the pnrtidcs Which are caused to conta et the 'heat d wnlls of the conduit and absorb thc ncessary}extrn heat units for vaporization.

The objects in vieu:and th,e advantnges gained 1night accrue with structures of mndified form and I do not wish to be limshown and described.
